This is a Single Source Justification document for a sole source procurement not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, issued by the U.S. Department of State's Office of the Procurement Executive.

The contracting activity is the US Embassy Islamabad, and the requiring activity seeks to correct deficiencies in the Fire Alarm System in the MSGQ Kitchen through project PR16194178. The sole source contractor is Keller's INC. USA, with an estimated repair cost of $17,327.00. Keller's will provide engineering, materials, and field service representatives to deliver: installation of an Addressable Input Module for the MSGQ Kitchen; conduct work and wiring for smoke detectors in elevator lobbies; interconnection of the new module with the building fire alarm panel; programming of the existing Fire Alarm panel to accommodate Ansul System safety requirements; and final commissioning and function testing of the Fire & Safety system. The Contracting Officer has determined that only one source is reasonably available based on two criteria: urgency and life and safety requirements. Keller's Inc. is uniquely qualified because they designed, installed, and commissioned the original Fire and Life Safety System at NEC Islamabad and hold an approved OBO contractor status with an existing IDIQ contract for fire alarm annual testing at US Embassies, giving them exclusive expertise in programming and configuring the system to meet OBO and Life & Safety standards. The anticipated price has been determined fair and reasonable based on historical project information with similar requirements and comparison with the Independent Government Cost Estimate. The document is certified by the Senior Facility Manager and Contracting Officer.
